Will it
void my warranty?
No. It is
illegal for a dealership to void your
warranty based solely on the fact that
you have installed an aftermarket
product. But always remove the tuning
before going to a dealer for service.
For information regarding denial of
warranty coverage, go to the
SEMA website.
Will it
damage my transmission?
No. In most
cases, transmission operation is
improved.
Why won't
the chip or Tuner work on my vehicle?
It's the same motor.
While the
motor may be the same, the programming
of the computer can and usually does
change from one model vehicle to another
and from one year to the next. If the
label on the Tuner states 96-03, it
won't work on an 04 model.
Does your
product require a higher grade fuel than
87 octane?
While some
Superchips products give you the choice
of running 87 or 91-93 octane fuel, most
vehicles require the use of 91- 93
octane fuel to get the advertised
increase in Horsepower and Torque
output.
Will this
improve my fuel mileage?
While we
design our programs specifically for
more performance and better drivability,
in most cases the vehicle gets better
fuel mileage.
How
difficult is this to install
Extremely
easy. Usually installation takes less
than 10 minutes and requires no
automotive knowledge whatsoever.
Can my
vehicle be returned back to stock?
Yes, by
simply removing the program setting.
Do you have
all throttle point tuning?
Yes, we
tune at all throttle positions, from
idle to full.
Will it
remove the speed limiter?
In most
vehicles this option is available.
Please check our products page for your
vehicle's specific list of options.
Remember, it is your responsibility to
have tires that are designed to handle
the increased speed the raised limiter
allows.
What type
of warranty does Superchips carry?
All of our
products come with a 30-day money back
guarantee as well as a limited 12 month
warranty from date of purchase. Your
sales receipt is your proof of purchase
and is required for any warranty
coverage.
Can I stack
a Superchips performance product on top
of another product?
NO!
Superchips does not recommend the
stacking of our product on top of any
other performance enhancing chip, module
or tuner. Superchips will not warrant or
be liable for any damage caused by the
stacking of our Superchips product on
top of another performance enhancing
chip or programmer.
What is the
difference between "Peak" HP gains, and
"Max" HP gains?
Peak HP
gains are measured at the RPM level that
the stock motor made it's highest
horsepower. Max HP gains are measured at
the RPM level with the greatest gain
over stock.
Is there a
Flashpaq or Max Tuner for my Motor home
or Van?
Sorry, but
we currently do no offer product for
motor homes or most Vans, unless they
are listed in the drop down list.
Why doesn't
my Tuner display screen light up when I
plug it in?
On Fords,
GMs and some Dodges, your cigarette
lighter fuse may be blown. Other Dodge
products may have a blown fuse other
than the cigarette lighter fuse.
Tuner needs
update. What do I do?
Once the
tuner states "Needs Update", write down
the files shown on the tuner display,
turn off the ignition and unplug the
tuner. Locate original sales receipt and
call Superchips if you have a Max Tuner
or log onto Flashpaq.com if you have a
Flashpaq Tuner.
What do I
do if I am taking the vehicle to the
dealer?
Always,
make sure you take the tuning out of
your vehicle and return it to stock
before going to the dealer for any kind
of service. There is a fee you will have
to pay, if you leave the tuning in your
vehicle and the dealer flashes over it.
Will the
Superchips Tuner work with aftermarket
modifications
Typically
our tuning is designed to work with
basically stock vehicles. Cat back
Exhaust are ok Shorty headers are ok on
normally aspirated applications Cold Air
Intakes are typically ok, but only when
the mass air meter is the same distance
from the throttle body as with the stock
intake. Bigger down pipes on diesels
typically work fine except on the 6.0L
Ford where the bigger down pipes hurt
the low end torque of the motor.
